Morphology

as + of

Although 'as' and 'of' are high-frequency words, the specific temporal sense 'starting from' is a conventionalized prepositional combination rather than a directly predictable composition of the two parts. Cross-linguistic equivalents (e.g. Spanish 'a partir de', French 'à partir de') make the logic somewhat accessible, but the exact meaning and usage must typically be learned as a unit, so it is not fully transparent to a B1 learner.

Etymology

The phrase as of probably comes from old papers and calendars that point to a certain date where something starts. So as of means 'starting from' that date.
